08/26 - Susan is living with that other guy when the season begins, but she and Mike are still legally married. The official divorce won't be in effect for some time to come. Source: Kristin on E!Online

08/24 - [Jackson and Susan] met when she hired him to paint her house. [...] Edie Britt doesn't marry just anyone, so it's a safe bet that her new hubby, Dave, has some special qualities. Chief among them: "He's just so handsome," kids [Neal] McDonough, 42, who plays the sucessful motivational speaker on a secret mission. According to McDonough, Edie has no idea of her husband's shady past: "Dave has revenge on his mind, which you'll see in the first episode." [Marc] Cherry won't say who Dave is out to get, or why. But, he reveals, "Dave is a low rent Tony Robiins who comes to Wisteria Lane very determined to be everyone's best friend. And we don't know if he married Edie just to move to the Lane." [...] "On Housewives, I make Edie realize through positive thinking that she doesn't need to be so cutting all the time[," reveals McDonough.] Dave will also bring music to Wisteria Lane as he and Tom Scavo form what McDonough calls a "Desperate Houseguys rock band" in Lynette's garage.

"We're going into their lives and we're going to see why each of these women, much like in the pilot, are desperate and unhappy," Cherry says, "for all sorts of different reasons." Source: USA Today

07/20 - "We'll get [Gabby] back to looking glamorous somewhere in the middle of the season," [says Marc Cherry. ... Teri] Hatcher says the five-year jump has made Susan less needy. "After years of being the kind of person who is like, 'Please love me!,' for many reasons that will be revealed over the new season, she's now a person who's closed off to love and not so searching and needy of it." [... Someone asked] a question about the new man in Susan's life, played by Gale Harold. "He's an interesting, artsy guy," says Cherry, "who's very different from the previous man in her life." [...] Edie will return to Wisteria Lane "in a very surprising way," Cherry teases. And what of the new man in her life, Neal McDonough? "He will be bringing the new mystery with him, and all I'm going to tell you is that he has revenge on his mind." [...] Cherry says Andrea Bowen and the rest of the show's original, pre-flash-forward kids will return in flashbacks.

07/12 - [James] Denton is coming back - in some sort of capacity. As for Gabrielle staying "frumpy," 1) Eva undoubtedly takes great offense to that characterization, and 2), let's just say that Gabs "won't be herself" this season. Source: TV Guide Online

09/28 - Susan's now-adult daughter, Julie, is hightailing it back to Wisteria Lane later this fall, and I hear she's got a helluva surprise in store for Mum. (Hint: It has to do with her new BF.)

The plan backfires when her son falls in love with her. Source: TV Guide

09/09 - Gail O'Grady (American Dreams, NYPD Blue) is joining the cast of Desperate Housewives as the cul-de-sac's newest troublemaker. As I teased in this week's episode of Ausiello TV, her character -- which will appear on a recurring basis -- was originally conceived as a Mrs. Robinson-esque seductress who sets her sights on one of Lynette's rapidly aged twin terrors. I say originally because it's entirely possible some of those plans have changed. One thing I know for sure: O'Grady's alter ego will be married. Producers are currently casting the role of her hubby. Source: The Ausiello Files

10/06 - When Susan's now-adult daughter (Andrea Bowen) returns to Wisteria Lane next month, she'll be bringing along one helluva surprise: boyfriend Steven Weber. [...] Sources confirm that Desperate Housewives has cast the ex-Wings man as Julie's thrice-divorced college professor-turned-lover, whose sudden appearance leads Susan to double her crazy-pill intake. Lucky for Mom, the happy couple's visit will be brief; as of now, Weber and (presumably) Bowen are only on board for one episode.

Lynette puts the family pizzeria up as collateral to get her son out on bail -- but he skips town. Rather than see his family lose the pizza place, Preston steps in as his AWOL brother. "It's The Prince and The Pauper story with Preston going to court and I think going to jail," teases Huffman. Source: TV Guide

02/05 - Orson's darker underbelly will rear its ugly head again. "He starts to steal things," reveals the klepto's portrayer, Kyle MacLachlan. "It isn't a burglar thing. He starts taking things that don't belong to him, often from his friends and neighbors. I don't know where that is eventually going to go, but it's going to be delicious." Source: The Ausiello Files

01/28 - "Katherine and Mike are going to move in together," Dana Delany reveals. "That's huge. We have shot a few episodes of cohabitation already, and it has been a tremendous amount of fun." [...] "Fans of the show since the beginning will remember that Mike used to live in the house that I live in now in, so it is a sort of homecoming for him," the actress notes. "But like all things on Wisteria Lane, it will have its own set of challenges. We aren't going to be living in complete bliss. Susan has issues, for one. And Dave is still around trying to get revenge." Source: The Ausiello Files

01/25 - Remember how it was Tom's dream to open an Italian restaurant, and how begrudgingly Lynette went along with the idea? Well, apparently now he has a different dream - and that's to sell it. That, in turn, gives Lynette a dream - for Tom to jump back into the legit ad game. Source: TV Guide Online

02/08 - The Scavos will soon say peace out to the Pizza Parlour and get back into the ad game... though they'll both have a hard time landing positions considering their long absence from the field (not to mention their "advanced" age). [...] The [rumored] extramarital affair may concern a couple we don't really know yet. However, a couple we do know is definitely having some issues. Remember a few weeks back when Andrew's husband-to-be called Bree out for emasculating Orson? Though Orson seemed to take his wife's behavior in a stride, I'm hearing that he's actually just bottling his anger. The Big O will soon channel his frustration over Bree's bitchiness into a bad habit. Source: Zap2It's Korbi TV

Of course, the road trip turns out to be a good bonding experience for the ladies, so it's not a total loss. Source: The Ausiello Files

02/23 - "Everyone is vulnerable on Wisteria Lane -- any of us could go," co-star Dana Delany admitted at Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards. "Every single person in that cast feels like their days are numbered. I think Marc likes to keep people on their toes." An upcoming episode that finds Katherine and Mike embarking on a camping trip with resident psycho Dave did nothing to ease Delany's anxiety. "Trust me, I was worried the minute I read that," confessed the actress. "Dave's clearly not right in the head, and he has already wrongfully accused people of crimes, punched people, and killed people. But it's good because that sense of not knowing keeps the actors on their toes and it keeps the audience anticipating." To that end, Delany offered this cryptic tease about Katherine and Mike's little wilderness retreat with Mr. Crazy: "There was a rifle involved, but I can't say anything more than that."

02/23 - From what I understand Nicollette is exiting the show. I've been told that her character Edie Britt will die in a car accident during this season's 18th or 19th episode.
